Abstract

This research work was proposed to investigate and analyze the social representation around the plebiscite of October 2, 2016 from the qualitative method, in this way the emphasis is presented on the social construction of reality based on socio-cultural processes that gave rise to the representation and in the way the representation has configured its own practices in the electorate and public opinion. The social representations were investigated taking as reference a corpus built with 26 press articles whose authors were politicians, ex-magistrates, academics, congressmen who expressed through their ideas their positions for and against the peace agreements and the plebiscite as a mechanism to endorse them. The investigation shows what were the social representations that emerged from these columns and the practices they generated in the electors.
